High insulation and heat shielding performance. External blinds available in 26 color variations.
Achieve a life without relying on air conditioning with high insulation and heat shielding performance. ★ External blinds, a common practice in environmentally advanced Germany. ★ Ideal for Japan's hot summer climate. Even if intense summer sunlight is blocked by indoor blinds or curtains, it continues to generate heat near the windows. Relying solely on air conditioning to dissipate heat indoors is inefficient. The rational method to block this sunlight from outside the windows is "external blinds," which are already standard in environmentally advanced Germany. These external blinds create shade outside the windows and share a mechanism with traditional Japanese sunshades like "yoshizu" and "sudare," making them the best sun protection for Japan's climate. 【In summer, about 70% of energy flows in through the windows. The foundation of energy-saving measures is 'window insulation.'】 You often hear terms like "high insulation" and "external insulation." This refers to buildings designed to minimize the influence of outside temperatures on indoor temperatures, allowing for a comfortable indoor climate with less energy. Among these, the most critical point for energy efficiency in buildings is the "windows." By blocking heat from direct sunlight in summer and allowing it in during winter, significant savings on heating and cooling costs can be achieved.

Cuts about 80% of solar energy from window glass The external blinds from "Valema" have a low solar energy transmission rate, blocking about 80% of it outside the window. Because they are installed outdoors, the air between the window and the blinds circulates, making it difficult for heat to accumulate, thus enhancing heat insulation. In contrast, with indoor blinds, the heat that accumulates between the window and the blinds or curtains leads to a greenhouse effect due to reflection, resulting in an increase in room temperature.
-
The air conditioning operating rate is about one-third when indoor blinds are installed. This can significantly reduce air conditioning costs. If we consider the air conditioning operating rate of a room using ordinary glass (single) without sunshades on the windows to be 100%, the air conditioning operating rate of a room with external blinds installed is only 25%. Compared to the 75% of indoor blinds, it is about one-third, making it economical.
-
Accommodates a maximum size of 5m x 5m. Large windows are essential for creating an open space that incorporates natural light. However, large openings also have the drawback of causing the room temperature to rise too much. With Valema, which can be installed in openings up to 5m, you can enhance the design of the building while keeping the exterior looking sleek.
-
In addition to a view and a pathway for the wind, privacy is also well secured. Concerned about outside gazes? They can be blocked by simply dimming the indoor light a little. The interior is hard to see from outside, while the view from inside to outside is clear. Changing the angle of the slats does not obstruct ventilation, allowing you to secure privacy while inviting in the pleasant natural breeze from outdoors.
-
Slats are available in 26 colors. The "Valema" slats come in a rich variety of 26 colors. For metal components such as cover panels and guide rails, you can choose from about 200 colors. They can be freely coordinated to harmonize with the building's exterior walls and facades, as well as to serve as design accents. They contribute to the beautiful scenery of the town through various buildings, including single-family homes.
-
Fix the rail guides on both sides of the window. Typical external blinds are fixed to the wall or ceiling (hidden inside the cover panel). The self-standing type securely supports the blinds by fixing the left and right guide rails on both sides of the window.
-
With slat widths ranging from 60mm to 100mm, a sense of openness is achieved. The standard slat width for blinds is 80mm. While it varies by type, you can generally choose from widths between 60mm and 100mm according to your preference. The spacing between the slats during use allows for a good view from indoors, even when installed across the entire window, without a feeling of confinement. In fact, having the obstruction outside the building allows you to feel the spaciousness of the interior even more than with indoor blinds.
